Irina has laid out the best advice for those with skin sensitivities. Replying to this thread because Red Rose (trading post unity set) in a decant got on my fingers (of course when I went to open the little imp vial) and I scratched the back of my neck and it got very itchy and red. I haven't had any other trouble and I have no intention of discontinuing wear (love it!), I just wanted to add that washing your hands when you accidentally get oil on your fingertips will help, or it did with me.

Bumping this thread for Philommeides, from Lupercalia 2009. The first note listed is Peach wine, and it's almost a single note peach on me. Very light and refreshing.

Oh, CRAP! This is exactly what I was looking for. I see no-one has answered, and I am so sad. Irresistible Bliss was the best Lush scent ever made. I don't even remember what it smelled like, all I remember was that I loved it. Maybe someone will read this and know of a similar BPAL...someday.

I can't believe that no-one has posted about Morpho (Lupercalia - Ode to Aphrodite) on this thread. Morpho is my perfect delicious jasmine-of-dreams scent. Most jasmine blends have been too strong (Feu Follet comes to mind - I haven't really given it a chance), but this one is amazing. If you don't want to gamble on a bottle, you can try the sales and swaps for a decant, but I suggest you get one sent to you before March 13th, so you can spring for a bottle. I'm definitely getting a bottle. And in other jasmine news, I'm still trying to find someone to sell me a decant of Jasmine Cottage. Will report back when I get my hot little hands on it.

I have to recommend White Chocolate and Sugared Violets. It's AMAZING. I had high hopes for it, and it even topped those. It's definitely the same violet as Faith, but it is much sweeter (is that even possible?); it's delicious. This is the only foody scent I've ever loved. If you love the violet in Faith, don't let White Chocolate and Sugared Violets get away from you.

Hmmm... Try The Rose from Marchen. It's a very sharp fresh green rose scent, and many compare it with Rose Red, but I think that they are not exactly alike. Both are amazing, though Red Red is deeper and woody, and The Rose is bright and fresh. I tend to LOVE the old lady rose scents as well as the non-old lady rose scents.

I'm so very excited to try White Chocolate & Sugared Violets, from the valentines' Box of Chocolates. I'm participating in a decant circle right now and waiting for my sample! I'm honestly the opposite of a foodie (most of them smell good, I just don't want to wear them) but Faith is one of my all-time favorites, and many of the reviews say the two are very alike; I have high hopes.

I've been poking around the Tech pages and shall now attempt a test. Here is (hopefully) a picture of the Dark Delicacies vintage bottles I bought. I figured that these bottles are topical, but as a warning: Me = not a professional photographer, sorry. Woo hoo! I think it worked. Hmmmm... might go and post in the Tech area as I had to find help outside the forum (I have a Mac).

So I wrote Dianora to see if it worked out for her. She wrote me right away to say that it did. I thought I should post this here, so she does not have to continue answering random messages as people find this thread. My thank you reply and then original messages to follow: Thank you so much! When I went to the Bat's Day Market in November, all the sample bottles had wand caps. I was so overwhelmed (the entire GC was there in 5 mls), I didn't think to ask how one would get a hold of them. This will make a world of difference. Hmmmm, I wonder if I can get extra wand caps for my old bottles... I requested a handful from the lab the last two times I ordered. I put the request in the comments box. One of them, the wand caps were just included. The other customer service emailed me saying that the caps were $0.50 a piece and that I could paypal for the number I wanted then they would get included when the order shipped. Thanks so much for the info! I ordered a nine-bottle order and really wanted wand caps, so I sent them a paypal for $4.50 and my order number Hopefully, it works out. Hello, I just found your post when I was searching for info on getting wand caps. I was wondering: did it work? Did you get wand caps with your order in November? Thanks!
